Police have closed off the roads leading into a Moray town due to flooding.

Roads leading into Dallas have been shut, with police advising the “town is not accessible”.

The A93 Aberdeen to Braemar route has also been shut between Braemar and Ballater.

Other routes currently shut are: the unclassified Linn of Dee, west of Ballater; the A98 Buckie to Banff, at the Portgordon junction to March Road; the B999 Aberdeen to Pitmedden at the Cultercullen junction; A944 Bellabeg to Corgarff; the A980 Alford to Lumphanan at Perkhill

Flood alerts are currently in place across the region, with particular focus in the Huntly and Elgin areas along the rivers Spey, Lossie, Dee and Deveron.

Moray residents can get sand from Elgin Academy and Elgin High School, while bags are available for the council’s Ashgrove depot.

In Aberdeenshire, sandbags are available in the Meadows area of Huntly and in Stonehaven, from the council roads depot at Spurryhillock Industrial Estate.

The red and white flood barriers are also in place in Stonehaven at the River Carron as a precaution, but there have not been reports of any flooding incidents in the town as yet.

Rest centres have also been set up at Elgin High School and in Huntly at the Linden Centre on Castle Street.

Police are urging motorists to take care on the roads and to slow down as there is a lot of standing water.
